If by some miracle I ever find myself contributing ideas to whatever iteration of Star Trek comes out next, I would have an emergency beam-back protocol built in to the ship's computer.
How would it work? Simple:
If the computer detects that a crew member is outside of the ship (let's say there's a hull breach), the ship beams them back on board.
It just seems like a common sense thing to have on a pressurized vessel in the vacuum of space.

Why I think it's better to tell a story within the Resident Evil universe as oposed to one that's all about the already established characters.
The short answer is that we've already seen their stories played out. We know what happens to Leon, Jill, Brad, Wesker etc through the video games already.
So if you did do a movie that had them in it and you stayed true to their journey through the movie, then all you're doing is just doing a live action version of what we've seen in the games and if you make the mistake of straying from it, you're going to have fans breathing down your neck and/or trashing you as a director on the internet.
However if you take the Resident Evil universe itself, there's a whole lot to expand on and you have so many different options given to you, to be able to tell a story or collection of stories within it.
I think a lot of it comes down to the Principle and Application. The general Principle is that Umbrella Corp is the big bad evil bioweapons corporation, the virus they were working on ended up getting out into the general populous of a middle of nowhere Podunk city of 100,000 people, and bam: Zombies, Tyrants, Bioweapons.
So anyway when it comes to writing a story based on established canon, my personal view (and I could be wrong) is that the better option is to expand on areas of it that haven't been expanded on, or that don't have enough expanded and go that route.
The other option is that you can either write a continuation of the protagonists and villains after the story's been told, or do an origin story that leads up to when the original story began (which is what they should have done with Picard, in my opinion; but that's for another time).

@fandompulse I used to love reading Stephen King till I started reading his insane political garbage viewpoints. Now I can't stand him and won't read his garbage!

Project Hail Mary writer Andy Weir on social commentary in books:
"I dislike social commentary. Like… I really hate it. When I’m reading a book, I just want to be entertained, not preached at by the author. Plus, it ruins the wonder of the story if I know the author has a political or social axe to grind. I no longer speculate about all possible outcomes of the story because I know for a fact that the universe of that book will conspire to ensure that the author’s political agenda is validated. I hate that."
"I put no politics or social commentary into my stories at all. Anyone who thinks they see something like that is reading it in on their own. I have no point to make, and I’m not trying to affect the reader’s opinion on anything. My sole job is to entertain, and I stick to that."
"To that end, I also don’t talk about my personal political opinions publicly. I don’t want readers to even know, honestly. I don’t want that in the back of their minds as they read my stuff."
Is this why he has the #1 sci-fi movie in decades?

@ronnierowejr Hey Ronnie, how was the Forest City Comic Con last year? Wanted to stop by your table for an autograph, but couldn't make the con because of an injury, whoops.
Have a great one!

@ActuallyNPH Hey Neil, thank you for not engaging in the political motivated/directed questioning at Berlinale film festival. Your words were a breath of fresh air for me as well as the film industry, regarding being a-political.
Thanks Neil, have a great one.

@ZackSnyder Hey man, just rewatched Dawn of the Dead to remind myself that it's still the best zombie movie ever. I loved the pacing you used to establish the sense of approaching danger in the first act and how well the tension built because of it.
Thanks for making it, Zack 🍻
